The organization is using value stream mapping to visualize the activities involved in restoring service following an outage.

Automating repeatable work activities sounds appealing, but I wonder if that would really address the root cause of the delays. We might need to analyze the process more closely first.

I feel like introducing additional sources of demand could complicate things further. We should focus on the current process first, right?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think determining where work is sitting in queues could also be a good option. It might show us bottlenecks that we didn't see before.

I remember we discussed how important it is to compare the value stream map to actual activities to identify discrepancies. That might help clarify where the delays are happening.
